Comments on: Feather Pillow Pancakes with Warm Lingonberries http://alittlezaftig.com/?p=5949 honest food & libations from a modern heartland kitchen Thu, 10 Apr 2014 03:08:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Laura http://alittlezaftig.com/?p=5949&cpage=1#comment-9527 Laura Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:13:50 +0000 http://alittlezaftig.com/?p=5949#comment-9527 Joyce, Thank you. I'm touched by your perspective. And I'm so happy that you had such a wonderful long break with your family. As for the lingonberries, if you're ever in Minnesota, ask a butcher for them. They always seem to have a stash of berries that they've frozen after season. Whenever I ask it seems like I've unearthed a secret. Now you know, too! Joyce, Thank you.

I've been thinking a lot about my own relationship with my Mom lately and it's so very nice to see it from a different point of view. I just got to spend an amazing month with my parents on break and I miss them so much already. P.S. I'm very jealous that you can get your hands are fresh lingonberries, I've dreamt of them since I had lingonberry jam at one of my old neighborhood's pancake houses. Such a lovely post.

I've been so disheartened recently hearing so many negative and chaotic accounts of parenting, so I truly appreciate your comment. And Congratulations! My best wishes to you, your daughter, and your family. I hope you all have a wonderful day of celebration. Kathy,

I love hearing other mother's talk so lovingly about their daughters. My sweet one is 34 and now planning a fall wedding. She has brought such joy to my life. I have loved all the ages and stages and am joyous at the beautiful competent woman she has become. Thank you for sharing. Kathy I really enjoyed this post.

I feel like I'm now in the adult friendship stage with my mother -- but it's not really a friendship as I would usually speak of them. She's still my mother. I still am rude and inconsiderate in a way I would never be with anyone else; I still tell her to SHHHH or HURRY UPPPPPppp when she's telling a ridiculously long, drawn-out story. I still hog the sofa and drape my legs over her while we're watching TV with no concern for personal space. I still call her at ridiculous hours to ask what the difference is between baking soda and baking powder, because I'm too lazy to Google it...... and because I trust her more than the internet. I still happily gobble up pancakes she cooks me.... but these days, I do the washing up without being asked, and I actually want to hear HER thoughts, HER opinions, between bites. Maybe I should REALLY take our relationship to the next stage by cooking these for HER... hmmm. ;) This is lovely/you are lovely.

This reminds me of the time I spend with my mom at home. I'm glad you two had such a lovely time together. These pancakes look delicious. I love how beautifully browned they are! Also, that tip about prepping everything in advance is such a good one! Sweetest recap ever! This reminds me of the time I spend with my mom at home.
